| '''{{PAGENAME}}''' (''Tsjoenz-blotp''; sometimes affectionately called ''tsje-blotp'' 'the ''tsje'' language', referring to the "unusual" sound [!] represented by ''tsj'') is a modern descendant of [[Myuftseezh]] (with [[Varquun]] influence) and a lingua franca of Xjeof. It's inspired aesthetically by Swedish and Sino-Korean words in Korean.

| ==Morphology==
| |
| Chick Corean grammar is mostly analytic and SVO.
| |
| ===Nouns===
| |
| Chick Corean nouns do not inflect for number but take possessive prefixes for ''inalienable'' possession. Chick Corean has various classifiers, which mark definiteness, come in singular and plural forms, and take possessive prefixes. Classifiers with possessive prefixes mark ''alienable'' possession.
| |
|
| |
| Inalienable possession is most commonly used for family members, body parts and inherent properties but may used for other nuances as well. As an example, ''vaeraev eotijin'' (with alienable possession) would be the usual way of saying 'my proof' (i.e. the proof that I devised of a mathematical statement), while ''veotijin'' (using inalienable possession) suggests a more special or unique relationship, e.g. I am the one who discovered the proof to a theorem.
| |
|
| |
| Chick Corean uses a possessive prefix, either on a classifier placed before the possessum (classifiers are also used as definite articles) for alienable possession or directly on the possessum for inalienable possession.
| |
|
| |
| Example:
| |
|
| |
| :Inalienable: ''Teuk sraev hundeofin'' = the man's song (e.g. a song that he is singing)
| |
| :Alienable: ''Teuk seohundeofin'' = the man's song (i.e. a song authored by him)
| |
|
| |
| The possessive prefixes are as follows:
